Photographer: John NowakJohn Nowak (C) 2011 CABLE NEWS NETWORK. A TIME WARNER COMPANY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. We have the full review of CNN's coverage of the wedding at our sister blog All Things Anderson. Here's an overview of the ceremony from the 7AM hour.

Piers was plenty obnoxious but Anderson, Cat Deely and the additional guests and the beauty of the ceremony made up for it. However, I will never watch anything connected with Piers Morgan again. He interrupts everyone constantly and appears to have a massive ego. He was really loving the sound of his own pompous voice.

The dress was lovely, very Grace Kelly-esque and I agree that Kate made the right choice. I was very impressed by Kate and her sister's composure being under such enormous pressure. Normal weddings are stressful enough but a Royal Wedding is 10 billion times the pressure. But it went off without a hitch and although I'm not a Brit, it was nice to see the people so uplifted and proud of William and Catherine and their country.

It was not entertaining when the correspondents spoke with one another and forgot the viewers during the wedding.I realize even the prime channels were doing it, but that doesn't make it acceptable.You either speak to the viewer and describe what you see, or not at all.And for CNN, having Richard Quest there was rather useless. Half the time he was MIA, or so it seemed.
